A calmer start: make a packing list for you, your baby and your support person.
Use this starting list, skip what you do not need and add your own items. Check what your hospital supplies before buying anything. Use what you already have.
An organizing aid, not medical advice or a complete clinical checklist. Follow your maternity team’s instructions, including medicines, feeding supplies, timing and quantities. Needs and hospital policies vary.
Clear every selection and custom item, and remove the saved list from this browser? Existing copies will remain.
Review this list with your support person. Statuses describe packing only, not medical readiness.

Starting items are informed by the NHS checklist. This tool is independent of the NHS; your hospital’s list comes first.
